Mod game launcher not working?

Hey all - newbie to this. Please move if this isn't the correct area to ask about issues for the modlauncher.

I selected the mods and went through the steps listed in the mod launcher thread. But each time I attempt to launch the game to play via the modlauncher it seems to stop responding. The 7days2die.exe launcher that is.

I've closed the launcher, reopened and tried again.

So far I've only loaded up Dust2death with some minor quality of life mods.
